Looking at everything Su Xian has done in the past year and a half.
He was an inconspicuous and down-and-out little scholar from Yingzhou, Hebei Province.
He became an official at Princess Lanling's Mansion.
And then to today's Taiwei and County Marquis.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the number one person in the Daliang dynasty, and that he was the number one person under the Queen. His true power was overwhelming.
What was his driving force for doing all this?
It's nothing more than making peace with what has come, in order to live a leisurely and comfortable life in this evil ancient times.
He has always had a perverted obsession, which is to eliminate all things that can threaten his own safety, such as threats from the Liao Kingdom, remnants of the previous dynasty, etc.
So far, things are generally going smoothly.
However, as time goes by, he has enough ability to protect himself, but he always feels that a vague, unknown, and powerful sense of crisis is gradually approaching.
unstoppable.
That sense of crisis is similar to the current of the times, the trend of the world, etc.
How can humans resist these things?
Let’s not go too far, but let’s just talk about the Daqian Dynasty more than ten years ago. It was the palace of a country. It was burned by fire. The prince of the former dynasty, who was the king of heaven and the stomach, had to flee for his life in a hurry...
There are completed eggs under the overturned nest.
Although there are many masters in the Hou Mansion today, it is hard to say whether they can withstand the impact of the torrent of the times.
but--
Su Xian wants to be the "completed egg" under the nest.
It's just that this goal is too ambitious. If it wants to be achieved, the government must have strong force so that it can withstand the drastic changes of the times.
At present, Li Qingniu has recruited all the remaining masters in Butterfly Valley to the Divine Capital, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the security of the Hou Mansion.
[To be honest, I have been using @ recently.
Prince! "
The more Su Xian thought about it, the more excited he became.
If the prince of the former dynasty can be successfully captured, then the threat from the remnants of the previous dynasty will not be a big concern.
Arriving at the study, the inner guard spy had just finished the ceremony when Su Xian asked directly: "What was the result? Are there any important clues about the former prince?"
The spy was stunned, seemed a little nervous, and was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Su Xian thought he had guessed it right, so he grinned and said, "Tell me, where is the former prince? Can you catch him tonight?"
The spy held his breath. Seeing that Su Xian was getting more and more outrageous, he quickly took a breath, lowered his head and said quickly:
"I would like to report to the Chief of the Pavilion that my subordinates have not found any clues about the former crown prince! Because... the old servant named Luo An died in a fire ten days ago!"
"What did you say?"
The smile at the corner of Su Xian's mouth slowly stiffened, and he stood there in a daze.
After working on it for a long time, the old servant named Luo An is no longer alive?
Then why check it?
It seems that this clue has been broken again...
The damn former prince was almost caught by him, but at the last moment he fled away like a kite with its string broken, and he couldn't even see his shadow!
Su Xian was extremely depressed.
"Have you checked Luo An's belongings?"
Yang Zhilan suddenly asked from the side.
When Su Xian heard this, he immediately became excited. Although Luo An was gone, he must have left some relics, and maybe some clues could be found from the relics.
However, the spy shook his head: "The reason why I have been there for so long is because I want to investigate Luo An's relics, but until the end of the investigation..."
"What's the result?" Seeing that his expression was abnormal, Su Xian gradually had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, I heard the spy say:
"As a result of the investigation, it was found that Luo An's belongings, as well as the place where he lived, were all buried in the sea of fire, leaving nothing behind, as if this person had never existed in the world."
"That's it."
Su Xian frowned, waved away the spy, looked at Yang Zhilan and analyzed:
"Then Luo An was fine and fine for decades, but why did he die in the flames after we locked him in?"
"Young master, what you are saying is that there may be something hidden in this matter?" Yang Zhilan asked.
"There must be something hidden! I just don't know if it's the remnants of the previous dynasty who are doing this. If so, it means they are also aware of the existence of the prince of the previous dynasty. This is not a good sign!"
Su Xian couldn't help but worry.
If the remnants of the previous dynasty find the prince of the previous dynasty, they will be famous.
In a short period of time, a large number of people will definitely gather around them. ….
By then, turmoil will be inevitable...
Su Xian rubbed his temples and sighed:
"That's all, let's leave it like this for now. Spread the news about my return to the capital, and then send someone to inform Your Majesty and Princess Lanling, saying that I will enter the palace tomorrow to face the Holy Spirit."
"..."
Su Xian returned to Beijing.
This news instantly made God, who had been silent for a long time, excited.
At this moment, Lin Chuan was spending money at Pinyu Pavilion and had just won the opportunity for a certain courtesan to be the guest of the queen.
But after he heard the news that Su Xian had returned to Beijing, he left the beautiful courtesan and rushed out of Nanli on horseback, crossed Datong City, and came to the wide Tianjie.
Then he rode towards the north of the city.
Su Xian's Fanyanghou Mansion is located in Jishanfang at the northern end of Tianjie.
Close.
Lin Chuan rode on horseback and looked from a distance. In front of the Hou Mansion, it could be said that there was a bustling crowd!
Su Xian was the Taiwei of the dynasty and had won the trust and favor of Her Majesty the Queen. Now that Su Xian had returned to Beijing, people from all the princes and princes in the city came to pay their respects.
The people sent by each mansion are either legitimate sons and grandsons, or princes, or confidants. There are no servants such as housekeepers, stewards, servants, etc.
Only in this way can it be reflected
Their respect for the current Taiwei.
"Hey, Mr. Lin is here."
The prince of a certain prime minister's house saw Lin Chuan and stepped forward with a smile to greet him.
Although Lin Chuan is a son of the Lin family, firstly, the traditional big family like the Lin family has long lost its former glory. Secondly, Lin Chuan is not the legitimate son of the Lin family. Thirdly, Lin Chuan spends all his time in the brothel without learning. Wushu has long become a typical negative teaching material for various schools!
Under normal circumstances, the legitimate sons, princes, confidants, etc. of each family would not bother to associate with Lin Chuan for fear of ruining their reputation.
But despite all the bad things about Lin Chuan, there was one good thing that everyone envied: he had a close relationship with the current prince, and could even call him brother.
This is awesome.
They couldn't even think about calling Su Xian brothers.
But Lin Chuan can do it.
Based on this, some people's legitimate sons, princes, confidants, etc. had a good attitude towards Lin Chuan. When they saw Lin Chuan arriving, they all came forward to greet him.
There are also most people who are not interested in Lin Chuan. He is just a dandy. He can neither influence the Taiwei nor gain benefits from him through him. What's the use?
Furthermore, they sincerely looked down on people like Lin Chuan who were unlearned and unskilled.
The reason why Taiwei became friends with Lin Chuan was just because of past friendship. As time goes by, Taiwei and Lin Chuan will definitely part ways!
Such people are simply not worth keeping company with.
So when they saw Lin Chuan arriving, they stood still and just watched everything with cold eyes.
…
In the inner courtyard, Su Xian received notification that many guests were visiting.
When he doesn't want to see guests.
For one thing, he had just returned home and it was too late to reunite with his wife. How could he have time to pay attention to those outsiders?
Secondly, he now occupies a high position in the imperial court and is a powerful Taiwei of the first rank. It can be said that his rank cannot be promoted, so why is he still receiving guests? Planning a rebellion?
With Su Xian's current situation, he is more suitable to be a "lone minister".
Thirdly, although the legitimate sons and princes sent by each government are also important figures, Su Xian has no common language with these people, so it is better not to see them. ….
However, even so, Su Xian would not turn away all the guests.
He ordered people to welcome the guests into the largest flower hall in the mansion and serve them tea.
After finishing the tea, these people will leave one after another...
In the flower hall.
The tea has been finished.
Some people have already stood up to say goodbye and leave.
Lin Chuan put down the empty tea cup and felt a little puzzled. Why didn't Brother Su send someone to pick him up?
He left the oiran in Pinyu Pavilion and rushed to the Hou Mansion, just to see Su Xian for the first time. Su Xian had been away from Southern Chu for a long time, and the two had not seen each other for a long time.
When he first entered the mansion, Lin Chuan expressed his desire to meet Su Xian.
The servant in the mansion also informed him politely.
However, Lin Chuan felt something was wrong——
In the past, when he came to the Marquis Mansion, he would always be a distinguished guest. Someone would take him to the front hall or study to wait. He would never stay with so many people.
For this reason, some people who looked down on Lin Chuan even laughed at Lin Chuan for this reason.
He angrily said that Su Xian had alienated him.
Lin Chuan did not refute because he thought it was impossible.
However, the tea was finished and some of the guests had stood up to leave. Why hadn't Su Xian sent someone to pick him up? Brother Su must be busy with business!
He comforted himself like this.
"Brother Liu, it's getting late, let's say goodbye and leave."
At this time, several young men in rich and colorful clothes stood up and prepared to say goodbye. They said goodbye to the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion and prepared to leave the house.
The moment he turned around, one of the young masters accidentally caught a glimpse of Lin Chuan and was still sitting there waiting in a daze.
The young man snorted coldly and said with a sinister smile:
"It's time to leave. Although the tea in Hou Mansion is delicious, it can't be like someone else.
You keep drinking shamelessly, right? Hahaha……"
They were very happy when they saw that Su Xian did not meet Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan was so much worse than them, yet he could call Su Xian brothers, which already made them feel unhappy.
Now that it was better, Su Xian finally alienated Lin Chuan. They finally had a balance in their hearts and began to ridicule and make fun of Lin Chuan unscrupulously.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, two guards from the palace came to the flower hall.
He looked around and asked loudly: "Who is Mr. Lin Chuanlin?"
Those who were mocking Lin Chuan were stunned.
what's the situation? Didn't it mean that the Taiwei had alienated Lin Chuan? Why did someone come to Lin Chuan again?
etc!
They found that the two men were dressed as guards and were strong and strong. It was easy for them to defeat a group of them. So what did the Taiwei mean by sending two guards to find Lin Chuan?
Could it be that... he wants to drive Lin Chuan out of the house?
Haha, this is interesting.
"I'm Lin Chuan!" Lin Chuan was shocked, thinking that Brother Su was finally done, and immediately stood up and walked over.
"Young Master Lin." Upon seeing this, the two guards hurriedly bowed respectfully, and then made a "please" gesture: "Madam ordered us to come and protect Young Master Lin. Please come here, Young Master, the Marquis is already waiting in the study."
"Thank you both."
After Lin Chuan nodded and thanked them, he followed the two of them and left, quickly disappearing.
In the flower hall.
Those people who just mocked Lin Chuan were dumbfounded on the spot. Did you hear that right?
Those two guards were actually here to protect Lin Chuan instead of throwing him out. Moreover, Su Xian wanted to meet Lin Chuan in the study?
This makes them so depressed that they want to vomit blood...
After Lin Chuan followed the two guards out of the flower hall, he let out a fierce anger in his heart and asked casually: "Two heroes, I have something unclear, please give me some advice."
"Excuse me, Mr. Lin."
"The Marquis Mansion has always been safe, but why did Brother Su send two strong men to escort him?"
"Young Master Lin must have misunderstood. The person who sent us to protect the Young Master was Madam, not the Marquis."
"Madam?" Lin Chuan was dumbfounded and didn't understand what was happening for a moment, so he asked, "Why is this?"
The two guards stopped, turned back to look at Lin Chuan with burning eyes, and said seriously:
"Madam asked me to escort Mr. Lin to the study, and then wait outside the study. When Mr. Lin leaves, we will escort him out of the house."
"Why is this?" Lin Chuan was even more confused.
"Madam's purpose is to prevent Mr. Lin from mislead the Marquis and take him to a brothel to find a woman!" the guard replied with a serious look on his face.
"Ah?!" Lin Chuan looked stunned.
"..."
Lin Chuan said nothing more on the way.
He frowned and couldn't figure out why Tang Shuwan acted like this.
It shouldn’t be! .
Governor of Ming Dynasty
